Power Switch Replacement

Repair Instructions

The power switch is a SMD
component, which in case of failure it can be easily removed from the main board using a hot
air gun. If this tool is not available, a good solution will be
to break the metal frame from the sides with a cutter pliers or a Dremel
tool, being careful not to pull the pads off the board. Also, the
contact leads will need to be cut to facilitate the desoldering. Then
desolder the leads and pads with an iron and clean them with the iron
and desoldering braid. Finally put the connector in place and carefully
solder the metal frame support pads and contact pads using a thin-tipped
iron.
